3/13/05: A weary soul
Life can sometimes push, pull, prod and otherwise beat us into
a state of pure exhaustion and fatigue where we feel as though
we can go no further.
Think of the times in your
past when life has overwhelmed you down to the very core of
your soul and you felt utterly defeated.
No matter how desperate it felt at the time, you have risen above
it. You have survived in some way, shape or form. It doesn't
matter how long ago it was, how you overcame it, or how far along
you are from it. The point is you survived it. You have been
through an arduous time of testing and you have prevailed.
If you feel worn, beaten
and defeated, know that you will overcome it. Rest your
weary soul and then get up and keep moving. You urged on once
before, you can do it again. Just pick up your
feet and continue with your life. It's ok if you feel as though
you are merely going through the motions. That is often the only
catalyst we need to start us back on the path.
